Overview
eg5 Overview
The “eg5” model is an intrinsically safe instrument featuring simultaneous C and A weighted
measurements. The instrument will also calculate C-A. The “eg5” model features three virtual
dosimeters with data logging. Once the parameters are set and saved in the dosimeter, you can
monitor the three different dosimeters by pressing the Enter button. This will toggle the display
between the three dosimeters.

NOTE on Edge 5-bay charger: If you are using a 5-bay charger, you may have various models
docked at once as indicated in Figure 1-3. The models selectable in the 5-bay charger
section is dependent on if you selected the eg3 / eg4 or eg5 models. DMS will display a
green circle with a checkmark indicating a docked, powered on Edge with the serial name.
DMS will also display a checkbox in front of applicable models that are selectable for
communicating setup parameters, downloading data, and performing miscellaneous setup.
(See “Customizing setup parameters” for more details.)
Virtual Dosimeters
You can monitor and log noise studies by enabling three different parameter settings in one
instrument, also referred to as “virtual dosimeters”. For instance, you may want to set one
dosimeter to log using the OSHA HC (Occupational Safety and Health Administration – Hearing
Conversation) parameters and also monitor noise with the OSHA PEL (Occupational Safety and
Health Administration – Permissible Exposure Level) settings.
A few scenarios of virtual dosimeters include:
Industrial noise control, hearing conservation compliance, work site assessments, personal
noise verification, and military applications.
